Addressing BJP leaders and party workers after taking over the charge, Upadhyay said, "The people of Delhi have rejected both Aam Aadmi Party and Congress and shown faith in BJP. We should continue to make efforts to serve Delhiites."

Upadhyay, who was earlier the Standing Committee chairman of South Delhi Municipal Corporation, said it was only in BJP where a person who joined the party as a common worker with no political background is given so much importance.

"I have learnt a lot of things from my seniors, who have advised me at every stage. After becoming Delhi's unit chief, I will even not hesitate to learn from them," he added.
